Ingredients

• 400 grams Fresh mushrooms (such as cremini or button)
• 4 tablespoons Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Start by cleaning the mushrooms using a damp cloth to wipe off any dirt. Avoid running them under water to prevent them from becoming too soggy.

Step 2

Slice the mushrooms into 1/4 inch thick slices for even cooking.

Step 3

In a large, non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of the low-sodium vegetable broth over medium-high heat.

Step 4

Once the broth is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 5

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet in a single layer to ensure even cooking. If necessary, cook in batches.

Step 6

Sprinkle the thyme leaves over the mushrooms and season with salt and black pepper.

Step 7

Cook the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and have released their juices, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 8

Halfway through cooking, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of vegetable broth to keep the mushrooms moist and add additional flavor without using oil.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve immediately as a side dish or a topping for steak, chicken, or pasta dishes.
